32-bit PAE Para-virtual domains will need 3.1.0 (the version formerly
known as 3.0.5) to work correctly, yes. 

HVM domains should work straight away in 3.0.3, but there may of course
be OTHER things that make this not work, if that's what you've tried.

There's rc10 at the moment in
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.1-testing.hg

I'm not sure how long before 3.1.0 comes out, but it should be fairly
soon. If you want to use this feature, I would recommend that you get
the latest version of 3.1-testing and check it out, just in case there's
some minor bugs that can be fixed before the release!
